Value-based pricing
what it means
Setting price based on the quantified value or outcome delivered to the customer, rather than on production cost or competitor price — capturing a fair share of the value created.
a real example
Consultants and specialised service providers who can point to a specific rupee outcome delivered (cost saved, revenue added) routinely command prices far above the hours actually worked.
when to use it
Whenever the value delivered can be credibly quantified and clearly exceeds the cost of delivery — the gap between cost and value is the room value-based pricing captures.
when it backfires
Without credible proof of the value claimed, value-based pricing just looks like an arbitrary high price with a confident story attached.
